No risks associated with endless chakra?

@Nimda

Nope. It's a relatively simple process, there's a fruit you have to eat a few of, and they don't taste good, so I guess there's the risk of choking.

@Yatagarasu

That doesn't concern me much.

The more difficult part is learning Sage Chakra, and then keeping a supply of it. I'll teach you a clone technique I developed that works as a better shadow clone, working through universes. That will allow you to keep a supply in the ready. And also improve a lot of your life in general? Anyway. It's important to get Sage Chakra figured out before eating any of those fruits, so I'll teach you that next.

@Yatagarasu

Let's begin, in that case.

Alright, so an overview. Natural energy, this kind of energy by that name at least, is a form of energy that exists in the atmosphere and the earth of some universes, usually those with chakra. By gathering the natural energy in their surroundings and combining it with their own chakra, sages are able to enter Sage Mode and use senjutsu. Natural energy circulates all throughout the world, but it is usually imperceptible. In order to use senjutsu, one must first learn to sense the natural energy in their surroundings and draw it into their body, which requires becoming "one with nature" by remaining perfectly still.

To control the natural energy they absorb, the user must balance it with their own physical and spiritual energies, which together make up chakra, in order to create senjutsu chakra. If this balance contains too little natural energy, senjutsu cannot be used, but too much makes the user turn to stone; in the case of humans, they first turn into animals before petrifying. This is where the danger of sage chakra lies.

You really only need perfunctory training with sage chakra, since you'll be eating chakra fruit.

Easy to say when your pal wore me down for you, huh?

I just expected more out of you.

@Yatagarasu

What do I have to do to learn it?

What do I have to do to learn it?

@Nimda

Well, basically, you apply an oil to your exposed skin and then remain completely still. The oil makes you passively absorb nature energy, so then it's a matter of learning to shape it and combine it with your chakra. If you start getting too much, I can knock the energy out of you, but in order to get enough to really learn anything you'll have to learn to draw in more than the oil will provide.

@Extra

You're counting me out too soon.
*Clenches my fists as my wounds nearly instantaneously heal as a flash of black disperses from my body*
My wounds are irrelevant. You can't kill me.
*The energy turns into sharp needles that rocket toward you*

*Nods*
I understand. Are we going to start now?

@Nimda

Yep. *A small portal opens and a container of several gallons of oil falls out onto the ground*
I'd recommend starting small.

@Yatagarasu

Do I douse myself and go?

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

@Nimda

No, just small doses to start. If you poured it all on you'd be way overloaded and probably turn to stone.

Why stone, specifically?

There we go!

*My body turns into pure energy that rockets through a crack in the coiling before it finishes and converts back, and floats higher into the air above you while pelting you with energy of the raw power of death*
